Does this mean goodbye to half of your customers? — In 2020, I indirectly declared my hate of social media by switching off the platform and muting half of the people I’m not too close there. My only active social media is Instagram. I rarely use Facebook now. In one day, I spent at least 20 minutes or more on…

You don’t have to be Elon Musk to do this instead of rubbing people’s faces to convince people to buy your stuff. — As the title is self-explanatory, honest marketing is when an ad is being truthful and authentic to the public with no sugar coats about their products or services. And it is the most genuine and sometimes, funny way to market. We’ve all seen Ryan Reynolds’ ad that kept us hooked…

When counterprogramming is done right with memes and friendly online bantering — Disclaimer: As of the making of this article, I have never worked with Warner Bros nor had any associations with them. This is only my speculation during the ‘Barbenheimer’ phenomenon. It’s not common when companies turned their ads into self-deprecating jokes to make their ads more fun to watch. Barbie’s…

Even after the flame is doused, they leave a mark — In 2022, I admitted to being burned out bad from the hustle culture, and recovering from it is still not easy.

Break the online pied-piper — “I’m sick of 9–5 jobs!” “I want financial freedom!” “Let’s escape the rat race!” Sounds familiar right? I’m sure you’ve heard this a lot in the past. It was also a big trend back in 2020. In 2020, like everyone else, I thought I was not cut out for a…

And most of the time, it’s not cheap — “So I broke up with her,” my friend told me. “Oh, shoot,” I said, “Sorry man. I really thought she was the one for you.” “Me too, but no worries. I have a new one now.” At that moment, I was shocked. I looked at him with wide eyes, thinking…

A closer study of what leads to layoffs today. — A few days ago, on the 20th of January 2023, as most of you may have heard already, Google laid off 12,000 staff.
